Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 150 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — Specified at 35 V for this part.
• Low loss (tan δ) — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.13 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz to indicate low AC loss for improved efficiency in filtering and smoothing applications.
• High ripple capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 220 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 550 mA at 100 kHz support demanding ripple environments.
• Leakage current — Rated leakage current of 37.5 µA (measured condition as provided).
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40°C to +105°C with a life/endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact radial package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with radial lead spacing of 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm); radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies.
• Packaging options — Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) and Bag packing for flexible production handling.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as provided in product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in a wide range of general-purpose board-level designs.
• High-frequency ripple environments — Lower impedance at higher frequencies and up to 550 mA ripple current at 100 kHz make it suitable where elevated ripple handling is needed.
• Compact through-hole assemblies — Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing suit tight radial-lead layouts and compact PCB footprints.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can reduces board area while delivering 150 µF of capacitance.
• Strong ripple performance: Specified ripple currents of 220 mA (120 Hz) and 550 mA (100 kHz) enable stable operation under AC loading.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +105°C rating with 5000 hours endurance at 105°C supports sustained use in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low dissipation: tan δ of 0.13 at 20°C/120 Hz helps minimize heating and loss in filtering roles.
• Radial lead convenience: Through-hole radial leads and standard 2.5 mm spacing simplify prototyping and replacement in legacy or repair-focused assemblies.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental regulatory requirements as noted in the product data.
